Quick notice: as of 2016, Fleshpound AI has been tweaked and the tip at 4:10 no longer applies. Fleshpounds and Scrakes are the only mobs who do not become perma-raged when there are only five mobs left

[@StarrSparrk]

Whenever I play KF2 more players are killed by Sirens then Fleshpounds.

[@GuardianOfTheHeaven]

Since FPs are very huge, they can block your vision, and any smaller enemies can easily sneak in. It's imperative that you and/or your teammates have eyes on the surroundings.

[@hallowseve5801]

Really? I always saw the Sirens as one of the weaker enemies xD

[@GuardianOfTheHeaven]

True, she's like any other Zeds; weak, though slightly tougher than the Clots(or trash Zeds XD ). Her scream attack, however, will dud any thrown grenades and Demolitionist's perk weapons without Sonic Resistance skill, C4 explosives included, so watch out!

[@fastaskirby2414]

Not siren lol, at least berserk can counter it. but the crawler... real shit when it strikes from your blindspot.

[@themiller3940]

Personally I think they've done me in the most, Fleshpounds suck ass, and sirens can't hurt me much because of the one bezerker perk

You have such high quality videos and yet people who do Anime or video game reaction videos get hundreds of thousands and even millions. Tragic.

[@Kilesfactor]

It's just the amount of ads that they do~ Also, people don't like, comment, and subscribe enough to this monotone warrior, so I can assume that they don't share the vids~

[@TamiyaGuy123]

Fantastic guide there, thanks for covering all the (current) classes and their abilities against the FP. I was hoping you might go into some lesser-known or alternative strategies, however. For instance, I remember back in Killing Floor, it was possible to kill a Fleshpound by slowly chipping away at its health, constantly breaking line-of-sight in such a way that the Fleshpound never raged. Is this technique still viable in KF2, and if so, are there any caveats to it? A minor thought, really. For the most part, a brilliant watch, informative and entertaining. The video footage fit with the commentary perfectly, and I was pleased at you not looking too far into the "meta-game".

[@RichardDangles]

+TamiyaGuy Unfortunately Fleshpounds will stay raged until they hit a player or after 30 seconds has passed.

[@TamiyaGuy123]

Thanks for the reply. That was one of the caveats to the KF1 technique I mentioned. However, even then it was a (I remember) very useful strategy for Medics and low-tier Berzerkers, since if the Fleshpound ever raged (either throgh extended line-of-sight or accidental burst damage), you could let the FP hit you once, heal up, and he'd go back to his non-rage state and you continue doing small amounts of gradual damage to him. Not really critiquing anything here, just, y'know, sharing the wealth, as they say. And over the past three days I've been watching through almost all of your KF2 guides, despite not actually having the game installed. Cracking stuff, I say!

[@Crystals10000]

hey its an improvement over kf1 i dont think fps will derage in kf1 over time

[@TRSRM]

+TamiyaGuy No, the KF2 Fleshpound will rage even without seeing a player for 7 seconds, sadly.

[@Kuutti_original]

TamiyaGuy in KF2 Fleshpound will rage when you are far enough or done damage to him. And by newest update it also can spawn on rage mode. Possibility for that is on suicidal = 50% and on HOE = 75% change for FP to spawn on rage mode.

[@marcusaurelius4777]

What an amazing video series! You should be proud of this! I really learned a lot with this.

[@vegeta353658]

Sharpshooters can easily dispatch those chainsaw guy with Rail Gun, or similarly powerful gun with huge headshot damage. Back in KF1, whenever I played as a Sharpshooter, the Scrake hunting duty often falls on me, and teammates thanked me for volunteering to the duty, Berserker included(since .50BMG sniper rifle stuns Scrakes if missed, making it vulnerable to other attacks, or a follow up shot).

[@Umgijus]

You are my favorite KF2 youtuber now!

[@lughfiregod16]

Zweihander stab is actually extremely effective on fleshpounds, you can actually stun lock them with headshots, and they deal piercing damage.

[@davecrupel2817]

I can attest to what he said about gunslingers. Those .500s, dual wielded and being pumped into a FP's face, is absolutely DEVASTATING to it. *EDIT:* The beserker is a MUCH funner way to take them on. A skilled beserker, with a bone crusher, can even take on 2 at once.

[@KidIcarus97]

[@FrostFire1987]

as a demo class these are well easy to kill on normal difficulty but on hard they can be slightly harder, great video old chap

[@masterofthecoop]

very nicely done. and informative

[@-xrampagex-1465]

Great freaking guides

[@AfreakingPear]

7 years later, most of this information still holds, but a lot of changes happened to the meta. Still very well produced video though. One tip that was forgotten is you can sidestep it's attack just right if you take a sharp 90 degree turn at the last second. although it does require some luck and a bit of practice. Also, don't forgot to take out your melee weapon and block it's attack if you can!

[@jamesduke5848]

The AA-12 for support would be good, yes. It is a very easy to use weapon for anyone playing support, but what you REALLY wanna do is use the double barrel. Put it right in their face aiming directly at their forehead and use the alt-fire for both barrels at once. This, if done correctly, will make him stumble back allowing you to reload and repeat this process until he’s dead. I use the increased reload speed perk so idk if you can do this without it. This strat also works for skrakes.

[@RoseSupreme]

2:31 All that intestine gore from early trailers... what happened to them? Why are they nowhere to be seen nowadays? Did they create bugs or immense pressure on the framerate?

[@RoseSupreme]

Tyler S God... dammit. With an Xbox One X, surely a feat like that is possible.

[@joshuabarr9262]

Had to come back to this because this weeks event is all fleshpounds

[@Summon_Aery]

Awesome video, very informative. Also how do you have the bowie knife with classes other than gunslinger?

[@webuser2014]

That was a really good Video, didnt know they stay engraged after

[@piesmacker7159]

One thing you missed: Fleshpounds tend to spawn together with sirens and bloats, both of which can pose a major danger to unsuspecting teammates. It falls to bullet shooting classes to dispatch these dangers swiftly

[@ApophisNow_]

Since you did the scrake video. Killing the rest is just simple. Though, I do love learning about the in-game enemies.

[@thaineofiver2069]

Yooo how'd you get the Zweihander? Amazing guide! I'll definitely be checking out your other videos :)

[@scottrobertson3469]

Fantastic!!! thank you for this!

[@Rickyriderr]

great video. waiting for the next kf2 video.

[@makzammo]

fleshpounds were also being injected with antidepressants to calm them down if needed

[@Sol-xu3vr]

the siren is more deadly and even more deadly when you are taking on scrakes and fleshpounds this is because even with body armor they do damage to your health but i see they dont do as much damage but it is still good to take out the sirens so your demolitions can kill the crowd and help take done the scrake or fleshpound

[@3bribee140]

great videos!

[@RandomDrood]

I started to watch your videos and I like them so so much, as a guy who spend more than 200h in KF 1 I need help to understand new things sometimes, but I have a huge question: Can you gain exp from 2-3 classes at the same time like KF 1? For example being a Sharp Shooter while welding doors and heal teammates, thanks for your help !

[@RandomDrood]

Thank you !

[@Techyyy]

I like it how you and Xboxahoy have the same outro

[@whydoiplaygames8126]

if you want to take down a fleshpound or two alone as the gunslinger i suggest using using dual wield .44's, dual wield deagles and dual m1911s as well as the medic pistol

[@magno172]

this is the type of information G4 and any other video game-based television series should have on their show

[@lydiagibson7527]

The most terrifying noise in killing floor 2 is when your health is low and your head that fleshpound roar. One time I was the only person left and I only have a knife, it was horrifying

[@maximusfattus4363]

Can we mention on how much the doomstick shreds them? I was playing today and its officially my favorite weapon for that.

[@ComandanteJ]

i always use normal fire with the MW, shooting at their feet, and normally, they die because some random thrash mob explodifies on their face LOL. I only use alt. fire when they get too close. Is the DPS much higher than the regular MW beam?

[@ROBDEWAND]

new info whit a crossbow if you hit his chest core he wil get stunned and goes imidiatly in rage once out of stun, have tried the head but the chest core is where the stun is at

[@jailsondias4102]

How about Sharpshooter? Could you make an in-depth guide with it on killing mid bosses?

[@davidmcrae4791]

are you going to make an update video when the next big update comes out with the playable zeds?

[@famousFabs83]

Really good work man!!! ThX a lot! Greetz, by Fabz

[@Journey_Awaits]

What do you do if the team dies leaving you with pounds but you are playing something like commando...suicide ? Can’t heal fast enough before his auto rages can’t outrun him aside from some map locations most rifles have no power to kill him fast enough for 6 players

[@jtaylor3609]

You should hopefully have close to full armor. If u positioned correctly. If you do you parry it out. Parry get distance shoot. Repeat. Hopefully zed times added in.

[@Deathwhisper2]

I'm really looking forward to Sharpshhoter perk wondering how it would cope with FPs. As of now (for me) gunslinger is the best option against heavies. Just combining leg shots with headshots to stumble (.500 stumbles even bosses if you can land it) you can get out even without a scratch.

[@NLPhantom97]

+Alex De'spark Yeah, as far as I have seen (I play Gunslinger aswell) Gunslinger seems the best perk to kill the larger Zeds. Especially the Scrakes are really easy to kill, with a couple of headshots to the head, which will not even make them enraged when you keep your distance, with the .500 Magnums of course.

[@ceasze5072]

You make him sound easy and difficult at the same time

[@Akenny]

i know videos take time but im hopeing for a new one can i atleast get confirmation of it being worked on

[@NoName-ol4wl]

Just something I wanted to add as he was talking about the gunslinger class I’m not saying I am an expert or anything but the one thing I know about the gunslinger is he is a headshot class with all of the perks leaning more towards headshots and the added bonus off pistols doing more headshot damage, the perk rack em up is by far the most OP perk in the game I’ve been able to take down fleshpounds with less than ten shots from my 500 magnums as long as I have the headshot counter at five the stumble perk is utterly useless because you have to shoot at the chest or limbs which negates that perks specialty which is headshots. And besides you know what slows down zeds more than stumble? A dead zed

[@Teqana]

Awesome vid :o

[@Hanfgurkenhasser]

One very important thing you should have mentioned is Demo's Lvl20 Perk: On Again. If you throw a pipe bomb with Direct Contact on a Fleshpound, it will be staggered for a few seconds, which makes engaging them so much easier. 1. Plant 2 C4 on the FP. (Don't get too close though) 2. Throw a pipe directly on the FP (and use On Again when reaching Lvl20). This will stagger it. 3. Detonate your first C4. 4. Fire your RPG. Shortly after, the FP will have recovered and charge towards you. 5. Detonate your second C4. 6. Success! A demo can and *should* deal with a FP on his own (if 20+), as most other classes don't have enough firepower to bring FPs down quickly enough. Biggest problem with demo right now is the fact that it takes you 20 Levels to be decent at doing this.

[@pixels303at-odysee9]

That sniper gun which costs 2500 (M99AMR) is a single shot kill on hard level, regardless which class uses it, but it has hardly enough ammo to deal with other small zeds. Lining up the Zeds in a straight line by running along the edge of a long wall allows you to kill everything with one shot because of it's 100% penetration. I have even killed two fleshpounds at once one by a fluke of luck that way. The M99AMR is so damn heavy that you can barely use anything else with it. I haven't found a light enough weapon which is good to pair with the M99AMR which allows for more of a spread of damage without maxing out what you can carry. Even the doom stick with four shot to the chest is a single shot kill. I however do enjoy Berzerker with the pulverizer, but at harder difficulty or multi-player, it tends to be easy to being killed as you get too close to them. A fully upgraded Vlad Nailgun to the head as a Bezerker does kill fleshpounds pretty quick too, but with the spread of the nails, you gotta be close up to get the maximum dole of damage. The Hemoclobber is however very handy when you get cornered by many zeds as it kills everything in a radius when using the alt-attack, and if your fleshpounds are grouped together, you can dish out damage to all of them at the same time, but you need to run around them to let them gather in the center and bleed to death. Usually takes two or three alt attacks to kill them. Can be difficult to get those Fleshpounds at times, especially on multiplayer. I have yet to learn how to play better at multiplayer and survive a hell on earth level. Been playing a few months and still haven't figured out how to survive on a hell on earth level. Oh and a few days ago I lost my entire inventory in game and I could equip the items but couldn't craft anything or even use the shop. I deleted my folder in my userdata folder and got it back. Anyone else have this issue?

[@BaconBotVbeta]

I’ve found that Seeker Six is a great disposal tool against Fleshpounds.

[@ohnoherecomescommonsense3853]
